Abstract
Nationalism had a remarkably bad press in the latter part of the twentieth century and continues so to do. This is partly due to semantic and conceptual confusion. Semantically, racism, fascism even good old religious warfare, as in the case of Northern Ireland, can be referred to – and in the mass media often are – as nationalism. I have even heard the fighting between the Hutu and Tutu tribes in Africa described as nationalist. Yugoslavia is deemed to have exploded because of nationalism. Latterly, however, thoughtful theorists have developed a neologism to describe this form of almost internecine slaughter as ethno-nationalism.
